Originally published in 2019, this book provides a comprehensive
account of a formative historical period, uniquely describing
Renaissance architecture as the physical manifestation of political
and economic change. The book illustrates how shifts in
architectural style and design were paralleled with Northern and
Central Italy’s external and internal conflicts, the evolution of
urban and regional government, and economic and demographic growth.
Covering the full extent of the Renaissance period, Balchin charts
the era’s medieval roots and its transformation into Mannerist
and Baroque tendencies. He demonstrates how developments in
architecture and planning were inextricably linked to political and
economic power, and how these relationships shifted from city to
city over time.
